Editing London Stansted Airport (section)

===Terminal and satellite buildings===
The terminal is separated into three general areas: Check-in and main concourse along the front, departures towards the southern end, and international arrivals to the northern end of the building. There is a separate baggage reclaim for Domestic arrivals. No gates are in the main terminal building; instead, they are located in three separate oblong satellite buildings, one connected to the main terminal by air bridges, one by the Stansted Airport Transit System people mover, and one by both. Four further bussing gates are accessed from below the main terminal building. The airport has 52 gates with 12 serviceable [[jetbridges]]. Long-term plans for Satellite 4, approved in 1999 and revised in 2005, have not been realised,<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |date=2015 |title=SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2015 |url=https://assets.live.dxp.maginfrastructure.com/f/73114/x/35bbc162fa/stn-sustainable-development-plan-land-use-2015.pdf |website=stanstedsairport.com}}</ref> but its site was developed as remote stands in 2018.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web |date=16 Oct 2018 |title=New aircraft stands at London Stansted Airport |url=https://www.britpave.org.uk/news/New-aircraft-stands-at-London-Stansted-Airport/113875}}</ref>

As of 2013, Satellite 1 (Gates 1-19) had been redeveloped with the aim to attract more long-haul airlines to Stansted.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.stanstedairport.com/about-us/media-centre/press-releases/transport-secretary-launches-%C2%A380-million-terminal-redevelopment |title=Transport Secretary Launches £80 Million Terminal Redevelopment |date=20 June 2013 |publisher=London Stansted Airport |access-date=11 February 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140221234429/http://www.stanstedairport.com/about-us/media-centre/press-releases/transport-secretary-launches-%C2%A380-million-terminal-redevelopment |archive-date=21 February 2014}}</ref> Furthermore, a dual [[jetbridge]] has been added at Stand 13 (Boarding Gate 12), allowing faster boarding and deboarding of wide-body aircraft. An additional building, known as the Advanced Passenger Vehicle (APV), was brought back into use in 2016 for flights departing during the busy 06:00 to 09:00 period.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.stacc.info/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/160617-STACC-Airport-Management-Report-June-2016.pdf|title=Airport Management Report|access-date=10 September 2016|archive-date=2 February 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202001211/http://www.stacc.info/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/160617-STACC-Airport-Management-Report-June-2016.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref> The APV building is linked to the main terminal building by an accessible route and acts as a bus terminal for international flights at remote stands. Prior to the completion of Satellite 3, this terminal (then consisted of gates 90–95) was in regular passenger use.

Domestic arrivals (from the UK) use a separate exit route, located at the opposite end of the Terminal to the International arrivals hall. This exit is connected solely by footbridge from Satellite 2 gates 81{{ndash}}88. When a domestic flight arrives at a gate which is not located in Satellite 2, passengers are transported to a gate on Satellite 2 by a courtesy bus service from the aircraft.

[[Common Travel Area]] arrivals are coached from stand, and taken to a separate entrance located at the North East of the terminal which leads to the main terminal baggage reclaim belts, bypassing Border Force, but without bypassing Customs.
